Wulian City, which has not been seen for two years, is becoming more and more prosperous. Apart from anything else, there are several more houses on the outermost perimeter. The hastily erected tents and rough houses with thatched roofs may look simple, but the people living inside are full of energy.
They believe that if they work hard here for a few years, they can live a good life. So no one complains, all we can do is seize every opportunity and give our best.
Both Halumi and Kaya felt that this place was a bit strange. But I was also infected by the people coming and going, and I couldn't help but smile on my lips.
This time there is no mall system, this kind of magical knowledge that allows the association's top executives to see through the truth. So the two girls didn't have the chance to meet the president, which made them relieved. When you go to see a big shot like that, no matter how amiable they pretend to be, you will always feel oppressed.
The Chamber of Commerce's horse and carriage team took the two girls directly to the house that Lin bought in Wulian City. It is a single-family house with two floors and a small courtyard. It is far away from the commercial area and has its own tranquility. Public security is not a big problem, as the people living nearby are all well-known magicians or great magicians in Wulian City. The members of the Thieves Guild are not bold enough to cause trouble around here.
Houses in such a community cannot be bought without certain status and funds. Lin originally entrusted the Chamber of Commerce to manage affairs, and also borrowed the name of his backer, president Cheng Guo Eaton, to be able to buy a house in this area. As for money, it was not a problem from the beginning.
The price of this piece of real estate has now doubled compared to two years ago. Many magicians who moved here have revealed that they want to buy it. But the owner is not short of money...
Although no one usually lives there, the property was bought with the name of the chairman, so no one dares to occupy the house. Someone will come to clean every three days. They are the Chamber of Commerce manager responsible for negotiating with Lin, his wife and daughter. It can be regarded as a certain degree of good news. Lin didn't object to this. Anyway, the house was cleaned and it just didn't look dilapidated.
After the two girls decided to take the Second Ring Apprentice Test, Lin also said hello to the steward who was still on the journey. He contacted his wife, prepared some ingredients, and put them in the ice cellar in the basement of the house.
Today, this room finally welcomed two apprentices from its owner...
After moving their luggage and getting out of the car, the girls once again found out why they didn't want to take the carriage back and forth. Their buttocks were split in half and the bones in their bodies were almost falling apart.
"Are they the two ladies who came back from the Tower of the Great Sage?" the old woman standing at the door asked with a friendly smile.
"Yes. Sister?"
"Hey, I'm an old woman. I'm embarrassed to be called sister by you. You should call me mother-in-law." The old woman greeted the two girls, helped them pick up the extra luggage, and walked into the house. Said: "Old lady, I have helped you take care of the house for several years, and you are here today. Come in quickly, I need to tell you about the layout of the house and where to put things."
"Sure."
The girls had no free hands. They grabbed a lot of things from left to right and followed the old woman inside. As for the registration for the apprenticeship assessment and the handing over of the magic knowledge from his teacher, there is still time to wait until tomorrow. Let's have a good night's rest today. It's a pity that there is no outdoor hot spring pool here, otherwise it would be first-rate to relieve fatigue.
The next day, Halumi and Kaya energetically put on the small shawls that represented their status, tied a ring of apprentice's silver thread, and went to the West Tower to report. At the same time, they learned that this month's assessment had just ended for a while, and they had to After two weeks, another inspector will be free to conduct assessments for the apprentices. This period happens to be the awkward middle period.
The girls were noncommittal. Treat this period of time as the final sprint before the exam. Bringing so much luggage was not just to prepare for such a situation, so Lin prepared a lot of magic materials for them to practice and consumables for meditation.
The reason why the itinerary cannot be arranged just right is that the trustworthy chariot and horse escort cannot match the right time. The current Wulian City is still in a state of insufficient transportation capacity and protection.
Lin thought, since there is a place to stay in Wulian City, there is no need to deliberately arrange the itinerary, or even let the girls go on the road alone. And compared to traveling alone, living alone in a big house is more reassuring.
After completing the apprenticeship assessment application, the girls headed to the South Tower together, which is a magic tower that specializes in managing and collecting various magic knowledge. Of course, it is to hand over the magic knowledge entrusted by the teacher.
The sealed wooden box was handed over to the manager, and the secretary on the side was transcribing the newly added records. Since it was handed over on behalf of others, the magician who served as the manager did not ask the two young apprentices more about the knowledge content. In fact, asking is indeed in vain. So the girls left quickly.
The magic knowledge turned in will be put into storage after review. There will still be a series of procedures to be done before it will be officially made public. But this is a general situation...
In the eyes of a certain teacher and two apprentices, they still regarded themselves as nobodies, at best nobodies with a lot of money and a lot of greed. But in the eyes of caring people, it is not the same thing.
Not to mention magical knowledge such as browsers, no one dares to publicly say that they have figured out the programmatic editing method behind it. The transformation of the Great Sage's Tower has caused the death of many enemies with malicious intentions. These are also points of concern.
Now that they have magic knowledge to hand over, these people who are snooping in the dark have purchased relevant knowledge from the association as soon as possible. Fortunately, many paper data can now be digitized, and then it is just a matter of copying and pasting. If it had been copied by hand a few years ago, the office in the south tower would not have been demolished by these magician's thugs.
But the girls are completely unaware of these things. He just used the magic mail system that had been established to send a letter to his teacher. The content is nothing more than that people have arrived in Wulian City safely, and the magic knowledge has been handed over to the association.
The mail server that has been established has of course been continuously tested and adjusted. Moreover, it had been perfected before the girls set off, and Lao Lin had made it public long ago, including the URL of the web mailbox and detailed instructions for use.
Unfortunately, with the current forum traffic, the title of the discussion thread posted by Lin was clearly written, but no one understood it. The poster is not one of the few active and popular people in the public discussion forum. So soon, the discussion thread went to the bottom. Maybe a few caring people noticed it, and in line with the principle of making a fortune by keeping silent, they saw it themselves but didn't say anything about it.
The two apprentices who arrived at the Tower of the Great Sage secretly - in the eyes of others, this is what Harumi and Kaya did - handed over their teacher's magic knowledge to the south tower, attracting the attention of interested people. Magic The mail system has just entered people's eyes.
In today's forums, the discussion threads in the public discussion area are updated too quickly and sink to the bottom quickly. Therefore, as long as the topic is clear, people’s usage habit is to search for keywords and then click to browse. Magic email system is undoubtedly a hot topic recently.
When everyone scrolled down the list of search results, they suddenly discovered that a certain tower owner had already announced it on his own. Moreover, unlike the server-side content submitted to the association, what was released was the client's web interface.
This forum is going crazy.
Everyone has the need for long-distance communication. But not all content can be put in a place where everyone can watch it. Although there are many alternative methods, you must first agree with the other party that a certain discussion section with a strange name or a discussion thread with a strange code name is the place for secret communication between you and me...
If the two of them met and made an agreement, that would be fine. Some idiot just said that in the forum, and then the discussion area, which was originally used for secret communication, almost caught up with the public discussion area for chatting and spanking in popularity. In particular, there is a problem with the other party's permission setting, which does not restrict non-related people from entering and speaking... Then, this becomes a joke.
Many jokes and more bizarre methods of contact only illustrate one thing: people have a high demand for one-to-one contact. A certain tower owner released such a function, so how could it not be sought after by others. What's more important is that this does not require any extra money. As long as you have a browser magic stone and can open a web page, you can open the web mailbox interface and use it.
Suddenly, there was a burst of praise in the forum. Of course, there were no opposing views, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the masses.
But there are also those who are clever and realize that in addition to forums, shopping malls and the latest email usage methods, web pages can also add other functions. These people put forward many strange and bizarre requests, strongly demanding that a certain tower owner create it, otherwise something would happen...
Unfortunately, no matter whether it is praise or criticism, praise or threats, no one can hear or see it. Because he was working hard with the two dogs and having a great time.
This is also the possible reason why the magic mail system is now in full swing, diluting the presence of the two apprentices from the Great Sage's Tower in the Five-United City.
The materials specially used for practice are all available, and the food can be entrusted to the old woman who helps with housekeeping and cleaning. The two girls stay at home and concentrate on practicing magic and meditation until the day of the assessment.
No matter how prosperous Wulian City is now, the bad memories of the past are still deeply embedded in my mind. In addition, under the influence of his teacher, staying at home is much better than going out and meeting people you don't want to see. So the choice for the girls was pretty obvious.
In this low-key atmosphere, without many people paying attention, Halumi and Kaya successfully passed the second apprenticeship assessment and were qualified to tie the second silver thread.
The inspector in charge of the assessment praised the two girls for their cleansing test and proficient magic skills. But that's all. It didn't have the same level of attention as the previous round-by-step assessment. After all, there was no care from the president this time, and no great magician came forward to express concern. Of course, there was no money stuffed in beforehand. If the performance level is not high enough, I might go home crying.
